The T Dog Media Blog is moving to a new home at the new T Dog Media website, which launches on September 19. For the latest updates, follow the blog on Twitter: twitter.com/tdogmedia. To view progress of the new site, visit www.tdogmedia.com.

Pete McMurray takes over middays at The Loop tomorrow, but John Kempf takes over the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. time slot beginning on Monday, with McMurray relocating to Kempf's old evening slot, at least for the time being.

At Q101, Alex Quigley and Ryan and Kevin Manno exchanging time slots, with Quigley going over to evenings and the duo heading to afternoon drive.

Meanwhile, there is increasing speculation that Jonathan Brandmeier might not be back once his contract at The Loop is up. Brandmeier has yet to sign a new deal at the station, with the terrible economy one of the main sticking points. With today's layoffs at Emmis, Brandmeier's chances at staying put with a pay increase don't look very good.

Sad as all of this may seem, look at it this way: at least nobody died. We've had enough of those this past week.
